Pan-Africanism

Pan-Africanism is a worldwide intellectual movement that seeks to unify and uplift people of African descent. The ideology believes that the fate of all African peoples and countries are intertwined, and that the African peoples share a common destiny. The Organization of African Unity was established in 1963 to safeguard the sovereignty and territorial integrity of its member states, but it dissolved in 2002; it was replaced by the African Union, which consisted of all 55 African countries.
